How To Keep Your Head Warm In These Freezing Temps

The groundhog wasn’t messing around. When Punxsutawney Phil forecasted six more weeks of winter, he obviously meant it. Right now, it is cold outside. A run-of-the-mill ski cap simply isn’t going to cut it. You need something more heavy duty.

The best option, bar none, is the one made by Carhartt. Given the Michigan-based company’s reputation for durability, this should be no surprise. (In the Netflix show “Luke Cage,” the title character’s Carhartt hoodie was literally bulletproof.) Having lived in Boston for a while, I’ve owned my fair share of winter hats. Every single one has paled in comparison to Carhatt’s standard knit cuffed beanie, which you can get on Amazon for under $20.

Not only is this beanie incredibly warm, but it is also incredibly soft. Sometime I will come inside from the elements and forget to take it off; that’s how nice it feels atop my head.

I’m obviously not the only one to rave about this hat. It has almost 90,000 reviews on Amazon, for a composite 4.8 rating. Although a lot of reviews on Amazon may be fake, you simply can’t pay for that kind of response.

My Carhartt hat is black, but as you can see on the Amazon page, they sell it in over two dozen colors. I have no reason to doubt that each and every option is just as cozy as the one before.
